1. Introducció
The SmartGen EP4300/EP4301 Engine Controller is a sophisticated CAN instrument designed for the control and data display of engines, particularly electric-controlled models. It facilitates essential functions such as engine start/stop, speed control, data measurement, and alarm display. Featuring a color LCD display and powered by 32-bit microprocessor technology, it offers precise measurement of various parameters, value adjustment, and threshold setting. Its compact structure, simple wiring, and high reliability make it suitable for diverse engine automation systems. Parameters can be adjusted directly from the front panel or via USB/RS485 ports using a PC.
2. Configuració i instal·lació
2.1. Desembalatge i inspecció
Carefully unpack the controller and inspect for any signs of damage. Ensure all components are present according to the packing list.
2.2. Muntatge
The controller is designed for panel mounting. Ensure adequate space for ventilation and access to rear connections.
2.3. Connexions de cablejat
Refer to the wiring diagram below for proper connection of power, sensors, auxiliary inputs/outputs, and communication ports (CANBUS, RS485, USB).
Punts de connexió clau:
- Font d'alimentació: Connect the main power supply to the designated terminals.
- Sensors: Connect engine sensors (e.g., for RPM, temperature, pressure) to Sensor 1, Sensor 2, Sensor 3, MP1, and MP2 terminals as per your engine's requirements.
- Entrades/sortides auxiliars: Utilize AUX INPUT 1-3 and AUX OUTPUT 1-3 for additional control and monitoring functionalities.
- CANBUS: Connect CAN H and CAN L for CANBUS communication with compatible engine ECUs.
- RS485: Use the RS485 terminals (A+ and B-) for serial communication, typically for PC connection or other devices.
- USB: The USB port is available for direct PC connection for parameter configuration and firmware updates.
2.4. Engegada inicial
After all connections are verified, apply power to the controller. The display should illuminate, and the system will initiate its startup sequence.
3. Funcionament
3.1. Interfície de visualització
The color LCD display provides real-time data and status information. Key indicators include:
- RPM: Engine revolutions per minute.
- Temperatura: Engine coolant or oil temperature.
- Pressió: Engine oil pressure.
- Indicació d'alarma: Visual alerts for detected faults.
- Running Status: Indicates if the engine is running, stopped, or in a specific mode.
- Comm Indication: Status of communication links (e.g., CANBUS, RS485).
- Indicació d'alimentació: Status of the controller's power supply.
3.2. Control Buttons and Knob
The controller features several buttons and a central knob for navigation and control:
- User-defined Buttons (1-4): These buttons can be configured for specific functions as per the system's requirements.
- Perilla: Used for navigating through menus, adjusting values, and confirming selections.
3.3. Ajust de paràmetres
Most operational parameters and thresholds can be adjusted directly from the front panel using the knob and buttons. For advanced configuration or bulk adjustments, connect the controller to a PC via the USB or RS485 port and use the dedicated SmartGen software.
4. Manteniment
4.1. Neteja
Keep the controller's display and casing clean. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the surface or display.
4.2. Actualitzacions de programari
Reviseu periòdicament el fabricant website for firmware updates. Updates can be installed via the USB or RS485 port using a PC and the appropriate software. Always follow the update instructions carefully to avoid damaging the device.
4.3. Controls periòdics
- Verify all wiring connections remain secure.
- Ensure the display is clear and readable.
- Test alarm functions periodically to confirm proper operation.
